Specification 01' Letters Patent.

Patented Get. 18, 1921.

Application filed December 21, 1920. Serial No. 432,271.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE SAYRE, acitizen of the United States, residing at Orleans, in the county of Orange, State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Table; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to tables and has for its object to provide a table comprising a frame to which frame is pivotally secured substantially centrally thereof, an oblong shaped top of substantially the same size as the frame and adapted to register therewith thereby forming a top for the table. Also to hingedly connect to one of the longitudinal edges of the cover, a leaf which leaf when disposed in a horizontal plane and the pivoted cover moved to a transverse position engages the upper side of the table frame and is held in a horizontal lane, and to provide a removable leaf having cleats thereunder for engaging within the end of the frame thereby forming an enlarged table top, said cleats forming means for preventing longitudinal movement of the removable leaf and for preventing upward movement of the inner edge thereof.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings 2- Figure 1 of the table showing the pivoted cover longitudinally disposed and the of the pivoted table top 7 rest. Extending through the bar 5 and through the portion (3 of the pivoted table top is a bolt 8 which forms a pivotal point for the table top 7 when said table top is disposed longitudinally or transversely in relation to the table frame 1.

Hingedly connected to one of the longitudinal edges of the pivoted top 7 as at 8 is a leaf 9, which leaf when the table top 7 is longitudinally disposed as shown in Fig. 8, hangs downwardly adjacent the side of the frame 1 and when the table top 7 is transversely disposed as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 the leaf 9 is held in the same plane with the pivoted table top 7 by engaging the upper sides of the rails 3 and the end a of the table frame 1 thereby enlarging the table top. When the pivoted table top 7 is transversely disposed as shown in Fig. 3, it will be seen that it will be necessary to provide a detachable leaf 10 for one end of the table. The leaf 10, on its under face is provided with cleats 11 spaced from each other and having their'ends extending beyond the inner longitudinal edge for engaging under the longitudinal edge 13 of the pivoted table top 7 thereby preventing upward displacement of the detachable leaf 10. The detachable leaf 10 is prevented from longitudinal movement by the cleats 11, the outer sides 13 of which engage the inner edges of the corner braces 14; thereby preventing longitudinal movement of the detachableleaf l0.

lVhen it is desired to reduce the size of the table top, the detachable leaf 10 is re moved, then the pivoted top 7 which is of substantially the same size as the rectangular shaped frame 1 is swung around until it registers with said frame, at which time the hinged leaf 9 is allowed to move downwardly and assume a vertical position adjacent the side of the frame 1.

From the above it will be seen that a table is provided, which may be easily and quickly extended in size and easily and quickly reduced in size as desired.

The invention having been set forth What is claimed as new and useful is A table comprising a rectangular shaped frame, a pivoted cover pivoted to said frame substantially centrally thereof, a hinged leaf hingedly connected to one of the edges of the pivoted cover, said pivoted cover and hinged leaf When transversely disposed uncovering one end of the rectangular shaped frame, a detachable leaf for covering said uncovered end, the under face of said detachable leaf being provided with spaced cleats having their outer ends extending beyond the inner edge of the detachable leaf and underlying the pivoted cover, the rear ends of said cleats engaging the inner side of the rectangular frame for holding the de tachable leaf against outward movement, stops carried by the frame and engaging the sides of the spaced cleats and preventing longitudinal movement of the detachable leaf, said cleats and stops providing means for preventing pivotal action of the table top as a WllOlG.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
